Model Train Sets - Rokenbok

If you are interested in getting your small child involved in the exciting world of model train sets, Rokenbok is a great option. It is the souped-up, modern version of the timeless model train set hobby, and it is geared specifically toward younger children (although people of all ages can have a great time playing with it!).

What is interesting about the Rokenbok train set is that it is not simply a train set, but a fully functioning remote control construction set, that has all of the typical construction related vehicles and construction pieces that are used to build the structures. They recommend beginning with their starter set, which has the construction pieces mentioned above, their radio control center, which is used to control the vehicles, the remote controller, one vehicle, and a conveyor system.

There are 11 different vehicles, that includes their train, which is actually a modern monorail vehicle. All of the vehicles can be controlled by remote control, and the controller can keep 8 vehicles moving at the same time.

Probably the best feature of the Rokenbok set is that kids are its centerpiece. It encourages children to be creative and develop critical thinking skills. When they succeed in building a great structure, the child builds a sense of self-worth and accomplishment. It encourages a sense of teamwork, since multiple kids can play at the same time and build together. Not to mention the fact that your child will work on their motor skills and hand/eye coordination, without having to sit in front of the television playing video games for hours on end.

Rokenbok is so confident that you will love their train/construction set that they offer a satisfaction guarantee and will offer a complete refund. The starter sets begin at $69.99, and there is no product set over $199.99.

To say that this is just another toy would be a serious understatement. If you have a child four years or older who likes to build or is interested in cars and trucks and trains, the Rokenbok set would be perfect for them. It has so many educational and cognitive benefits, and has endless possibilities when it comes to the construction itself. For everything you get with this product, in the way of benefits, it is well worth the cost. It is definitely a toy that you child will continue to play with for years to come.
